Time to Thrive

This week we just want to remind you of the prophetic word that came to us during our church anniversary celebration through Pastor Frank King. When you connect this powerful promise with the encouragement the Lord gave us through Pastor Carol that our breakthrough is imminent, you just have to feel like a little kid on the night before Christmas. We’re rejoicing with excited anticipation.

Recorded in our church history on Sunday, March 25, 2012:

“Prepare for the shifting for you are now ready to begin. For many will come from all walks of life to build. For there are a people yet ready to come. Some whom the Lord will relocate. They will be relocated to this emerging region. For Harrisburg is an emerging city. It is a city that is on the horizon. For you will compliment, not compete with Philadelphia. For the Lord has purpose for that place as well.

Do not compare, but be prepared for what the Lord desires to do HERE in this emerging city. You will be an emerging city in this nation. For many will come to build, for many leaders will come to glean and many will come to live.

Likewise do not compare yourselves to others. For the call that is on you is unique to you and to His purpose for this generation. For the Lord says you are forerunners. For the Lord has given you the grace to survive the pressure. Now you will thrive. You are moving out of survival mode into thriving mode. For the Lord will place you in the center of this growing region. Wait on the Lord!”

This is the reason we keep declaring that we’re going to do something great for God. New people are coming to this region and when they get here, we’re going to be ready to minister to them in the unique styles, methods and strategies that God has given us.

This week we're going to start a very intentional preparation process to get us ready to thrive. This Friday, we're meeting with our ministry TEAM and we have wonderful news to share. This Sunday, we're going to partake of Holy Communion and prayer for every person and family. There's just so much that's about to be released upon our church family, that it's impossible to put it into words. All we can say is get ready for your moment in purpose and destiny. Don't let it pass you.
